6.0 in an 08 sounds like a very very nice idea. On the look out for rollers haha
But im with snake. 6.0 ftw

Legally speaking, you may not be able to get the truck tagged though. Some states flat out prohit you from putting an "older" motor into a "newer" vehicle (for example, a 1999 Cummins into a 2005 truck). And it probably goes without saying that the whole DPF issue could be a huge headache.

pretty sure the 6.4l would be faster :jammin:

Just swap an 08 front clip and interior into a 6.0, much cheaper and faster, don't have to deal with the dpf etc...

But what if the 6.0 came from a 08 van?

I see this all the time. It still boggles my mind every time I hear a 6.0 crackle in a 08 van or ambulance LOL.

Now THAT is interesting, and I completely forgot about those. I'd have to imagine it would be ok to swap to an 08 truck, but not an 09+.

From a local forum. To sum up that thread its a 2000 with a looks to be 03-04 6.0 and a 08 conversion. Done by some place in Florida.

You have to have two trucks to do that. I already have a 6.0 engine. There is surely a nice 08 or 09 somewhere with a blown 6.4 that somebody wants out of.

oke:

For this reason, and pardon me for quoting myself.

Ya but the van 6.0L dose not have a dpf on it and the build date wold be right so there might be a loophold in there somewhere but hell I don't no I think switching the front clip tail,gate and interior wold be a cheeper move and just keep the spare 6.0's for building or that O chit moment LOL

Disregard the DPF for a moment.....in many states that emissions test, you will not pass inspection if you install an older model year motor into a newer moder year vehicle.

Hmm.. I like this thread, interesting contributions from all, and civil to boot!

ginormous waste of time

huge step backwards, but if you want an 08+ 6.0, just update the body work. way easier and legal

But technically the motor would be the right year I just looked at the build date on the one in or 09 and it says it was built in 09
